Wrestling community may have wondered what this means for his WWE role as Drake Maverick — with Rockstar Spud returning to the ring as part of the PROGRESS promotion in his native UK. Spud, whose real name is James Curtin, doesn’t appear to be leaving WWE just yet. Per Fightful.com — he was listed as a writer for RAW just closing week.
The PROGRESS press release on top of that noted that Maverick continues to work with WWE in a behind the scenes role. Along those lines, he hasn’t wrestled a encounter in five years. His approaching appearance seems more like a special premium live event than a full-time resurgence to the ring. He likely hopes this return goes better than his infamous match in London with EC3 in TNA, where he was hung upside down and had his head shaved.
Bobby Roode’s status has additionally come into question since WWE moved him to the alumni section on its website. That said, he has still been seen in the background of segments. Along those lines, while both men could potentially move on at any time, they currently seem settled in their respective roles. The same Fightful report states that Roode remains a producer and has no intentions of returning to the ring.
